The US State Department has an alert everywhere except for themselves. America should be on that list!

Meanwhile, take precautions as you would when you go to a place where you don't know. Don't flaunt your wealth (keep your fine jewelry at home), walk around at night by yourself, or dabble in dangerous activities (don't buy or sell drugs, go home with a stranger or join gangs). Most of the "alerts" are gang related. That's the reason why families want to flee the country and take their children to seek asylum "up north."

Ask your wedding sponsors to arrange for a driver who will be waiting at the airport for you.

Smile and the world will smile back. Touch others with kindness and kindness will be returned. Learn basic Spanish for hello, please and thank you. You'll be surprised at what a difference it'll make! The people are beautiful.

the last time my mother visited me from the UK, she flew into the u.s. via miami and had to spend the night. the british government sent her a warning about Miami, it said foreign tourists are often targeted by criminals there and crimes involving guns are common..

its all relative but as others have said, just take sensible precautions and ask your hosts or your hotel to arrange taxi's for you.
